the food that i see people you never heard of love back to the night my president of the world bank so they. really. seriously sent us an e-mail. iraqi army claims it is in full control of to kurdish fighters flee the disputed city this comes as baghdad tightens its grip on security following an independence referendum. also the u.k.'s foreign secretary attacks labor peace repairing on this channel calling it scandalous. protesting breakouts in barcelona the arrest of two catholic is accused of organizing the region's independence referendum.

hello good evening welcome has just turned seven o'clock here in moscow you watching international now our top story this hour the iraqi army says it has taken full control of the city of co cook. kurdish peshmerga fighters see it was described as a declaration of war by the kurdish military which is bad heavy response cool. i i. was i. know what i think. you. know i feel like i could go either way. it's going to probably go to guy. i. bought it all over the wall in this market. but i can't because i can profit from it but not if you're

going out of darker carbons you're gonna go seven hundred percent of what i could wash out it was gone i mean an hour from the bottom of the hour or for a budget look i was there but no that was the shabby. how much did that god. would. throw down that were on. the books. the iraqi government says the move was to increase security but the oil rich city had been under the control of kurdish forces since twenty fourteen that's when the iraqi army fled the area to escape islamic state has more now on how the war on terror in iraq has turned into a battle for territory gunshots and one of the largest cities in the north of iraq that had nothing to do with terrorists. i mean it's about the terrorists not being there anymore after the kurdish units

also known as push mariga and the iraqi army in cold war largely successful against eisel it is now all about showing who's boss and northern iraq and in particular in kirkuk back in two thousand and fourteen the kurds basically took full control of it while the iraqi army were hopelessly losing the country to islamic state i'm not saying these latest care clashes put iraq on the brink of a new civil war although the general command did call it a declaration of war on the people of kurdistan but here's what the u.s. central command called the takeover of a whole city after a fierce gun battle masses of locals clean the area coalition forces reports of a limited exchange of fire but believing gauge when this morning was a misunderstanding and not deliberate elements at times it's a link up the limits of visibility conditions clearly this is a difficult time. and the startler is

isis so how's that iraq you only. want your own mobilization forces. also played an important role so now the u.s. finds some difficult position this is going to make it very difficult for the trump administration to resolve this issue very quickly across the border in syria similar story the kurdish units have done a great job in taking over land from dice and no matter what the government in damascus has to say they want to keep it period we will never handed over our law is clear the land that runs with the blood of martyrs belongs to the people and we will not handed over to any force the battle against isis is it's not finished it's largely finished and they've been able to come up with a plan the war of words got hotter and hotter and they have to move special

forces but it's oil it's all about oil this is very important for iraq to take a city which they believe is theirs the government and to establish very quickly now that their military is stronger has proven itself against isis has become organized and well received machine that they wanted to strike while the iron is hot while following that takeover in crude oil prices have climbed twenty week high we discussed the market based on conflict with international oil economist mom to celebrate the immediate impact comes from the clashes in quetta cool so far these clashes have added one to two delegates to the price of oil in the oil fields and chemical. is very ample if then he had not caught only because economy is the pan then the queue of ninety per cent annoyed at having and

be kind of cool only and feel have be employed using says nine twenty seven and then out of continuing to produce oil. they the amount they have been improved using all reason than we see the four hundred fifty to five hundred thousand barrels a day so it is almost them. oil production. now kurdish forces in syria have delivered a major blow to islamic state is reports suggest the deisel has been defeated in its former defacto capital of racket the american backed syrian democratic forces who are also fighting the terrorists there claim that rocker is fully under their control however the us led coalition is less optimistic about the situation saying the city has been ninety percent clear device so and they still expect some resistance. we are aware of the reports that isis has been defeated in iraq or

however clear its operations continue and we expect our syrian democratic force partners to hit pockets of resistance as the final parts of the city is cleared rocky became islamic states the fact capital back in twenty fourteen was the setting for much of the terrorist propaganda forces launch terrorist cells on the region this summer that victory has come at a very high price. the u.n. estimates that's an average of twenty seven people are being killed in iraq every day. up to twenty five thousand civilians still remain trapped in the city but they're increasingly exposed to the crossfire of the ongoing fighting. they risk being killed either by astroids. i still snipers or mines if they try to flee.

there is. constant air raids from the coalition so they can shoot civilian casualties are. large and they seem to be no real escape for these civilians. that planes bombed us heavily this happens in downtown bend around i still slaughtering people that many were killed and houses were destroyed in a. coalition shelling target civilians and civilians four story houses full of people all over the neighborhood so it's a nuke. many have been killed among them my cousin died in rocket strike.

so there is lots to talk about and we can discuss some of these issues now with beirut based journalist martin good evening to you martin thanks for coming on firstly just run through in your own opinion how significant is this latest development the rocket has been retaken certainly in terms of defeating. the launch just cause i can't hear anything i did not a good start ok we'll leave it there marty we're trying get back to you we've obviously got some technical problems but we'll see if we can get another connection shortly. but the you case foreign secretary boris johnson has a tax labor party and pays for appearing on our channel and he even called it a scandal you study the output of russia today. if you consider the state of the of the prince in russia this president it is an absolute it is russia today it is a scandal it is

a scandal that members of the party opposite are continuing to validate the date and lead you to meet. that kind of propaganda by doing all those programs strong words from boris johnson that his repeated use of the word scandal as he talks about. on the floor of the house of commons to choose day he talked about labor members of parliament appearing on our team but of course members of his own party have appeared regularly and frequently and. since the channel began r.t. has responded to those comments editor in chief margarita simonyan called johnson's remarks but no all she said that he was using his own freedom of speech to bully his colleagues for exercising that that's of course is a pretty awkward conversation it's an awkward conversation that he maybe had. with his own father because stanley johnson has appeared himself on r.t.

he was on one of our shows going underground talking about his anti brecht it book and he was asked by host action returns the whether any of the characters in his book were based on either of his sons i do notice how you take sides in this book what does this mean or take kerry stokes the a bully a former mayor of london how he was absolutely living up to the expectations people have of him wowing the crowds where every went he could be serious too if it was absolutely necessary who is this former mayor of london character a little serious to do is absolutely as it were we all will face that reality sometimes we have to be we have to be serious well you are right you. know i said absolutely nothing will be that happy but no one who is this doc i'm not saying that that particular character is a million miles away from another member of my family whom you have. mentioned today though he didn't confine his comments to r.t.

he took a russia as a whole in his inimitable fashion the russians have been up to all sorts of mischief in many countries but so far we can ok any direct russian cyber attacks on this country so he doesn't have a specific in mind but boris johnson has in the past hinted at why he thinks russians are so mischievous he says they do it because they can. or smith reporting the managing editor of the duran dot com and gary says that boris johnson's comments on r.t. do follow the line of demonizing russia somehow he thinks it's deplorable to use here the reason favorite words that people go on to audience have reasonable debates about contemporary is used report which is factual definition and all the rest of it is somehow but frankly i think johnson is just parroting the men. stream media and mainstream politics line but some are war two years bad not because it's

inaccurate because it's not not because it's unfair because it's not but because it has something to do with russia which according to the western elites is somehow bad overall though it's frankly silly to think that in an age where free speech is truly international thanks to modern technology that one can or should strive for reasonable debate free speech and report from one of the most reputable news organizations in the world. ok let's go back to that previous story about the liberation of racket for myself because there we have got connection again now with the syria based story beirut based journalist martin j.q. i hope can hear me now hello again martin sorry about before let's just talk about the significance then of the liberation of rack of what seems to be the brink of liberation how important is this in terms of eliminating ice or completely from syria. well it's in which we talk about eliminating i sall

well that's i think that's premature i mean on ice all is is everywhere i suppose scattered a great deal of weisel is going on the ground in many cases the campaign the last couple of years is involved moving eisel around you know certainly there have been significant bombing campaigns which have come with a very high civilian casualty process which have had an impact against isis but i don't think we can say i mean the war against isis we know it perhaps we can say is more or less over but extremism no certainly not in syria nor in iraq so i don't think we should get too excited about that i think it's more significant for the big geopolitical players now who can look at the fall of rock as a milestone talking about saudi arabia and america on one side and iran and russia and syria and hezbollah on the other and they can look at iraq are now and say well . what next now do we have

a momentum of support for america i mean the big question now is where the americans actually step up to the mark and deliver on governance as much as they did on supporting. a military conflict is it clear c i mean you talk about what will happen now is it clear who will assume control of iraqi. no i mean well you're talking about politically there are two political camps now in a tug of war one which represents largely the kurds the last year and the other the formal syrian opposition based in turkey there's a certain amount debate going on at the moment which is quite quite sober i might add but is a big sea a political question is. does you would imagine that america would be now supporting the and making sure that their own political council as it's called will be installed now but you know there are huge questions to deal with in the

coming months and years november aka needs to be rebuilt three hundred thousand people need to be put back in their homes you know there's a massive reconstruction job ahead of them and nobody on the international circuit of the e.u. not the americans is is we're going to book an even suggesting they going to pay for it so you know it's another question where does this money come from both sides are rejecting strongly the idea that the assad government will play some sort of minor role in this new regional government but only we can actually write that off so you know at the moment it's just questions number to sort of say not many answers right run today and in terms of how that liberation is carried out i mean it's understood unfortunately you as always there will be civilian casualties but that does seem to be a high number i'm just looking at think is now saying perhaps two thousand civilians were killed in all four hundred fifty thousand people displaced in your opinion could more have been done to lessen the civilian death toll.

on the undoubtably i mean what we're witnessing now you know for for the first time in a very long time is a completely indiscriminate obliteration of of human rights and international law by the trump of ministration into the huge shift when trump came in and compared to a bomber was you know the trump is chumps people on the ground his militia advisors of people are not interested in quality intelligence not interested in in in preserving life where they can you know you have this this almost carpet bombing policy now which is going to catch up with him you know there are indications now that international law are going to start kicking in and that of course trump won't be around will not will not finally happen so i think that needs to be taken into account but you know it's the americans in this part of the world i'm just so in the seeds of insurgency you know when you kill innocent people like that they don't forget about it very quickly and we saw how isis form so quickly you

know it really was a forest fire which which which moves so very very quickly when the americans two thousand and three said we're going to pay the salaries of five hundred thousand iraqi largely sunni soldiers supporters of saddam hussein so what do people do when they have no hope no money and a firearm you know and i think this is what we should be looking at now in iraq or you know the next few months whether a political agreement can be ironed out and people can actually get on and put their guns down or to start rebuilding as part of the world is a huge question and also where the you know these the big political players get behind it or back away you know no one knows where america is going on this because even trump has no self so we have to wait and see yeah certainly a lot to be sorted out still but look really appreciate your time could get your insight that was martin jay based journalist thank you. watching r.t. we're going to take a quick break but be back continue. seemed

wrong. to me. to shape out. active. and engaged equals betrayal. when some find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around. corporations from washington to washington to meet. the.

voters elected business to run this country business equals. boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. but again you walk internationally not two key members of the castle and independence movement have been detained and questioned on charges of sedition they are accused of playing crucial role in organizing catalonia disputed referendum which madrid does say was illegal and it provoked yet more protests in boston. catalan leaders were in attendance at the latest demonstration holding a minute's silence of support of detained colleagues protests also took place last night as well.

and catalonians president islam and madrid expressing regret that arrests were made for simply organizing peaceful rallies the separatist leaders called on the public to remain strong during this difficult period for the region as that but irrelevant we're disappointed with the judge's decision to deprive us of our freedom the sacked isn't in line with the principles of justice its goal is to frighten and punish us without assistance because then despite the times we're living in and the limitless repression of the state to try and stop this democratic wave we're experiencing in catalonia i want you to be more serious than ever we must become aware of the importance of the historical moment as well here are some more details about the two men that were arrested at one of them is the leader of the cattle and

national assembly an organization which does aim for regional independence and independence and does have over eighty thousand members the other here is the president of an organization that promotes cattle and language and culture and it's also in favor of secession meanwhile the editor of wiki leaks expressed his concern at least to latest arrests in the sancerre described the politicians as the first high level political prisoners held over the referendum is a vocal supporter of catalan independence political commentator john white told us that he believes madrid has made a big mistake. after the ugly scenes of violence that we witnessed the whole world witnessed on october the first that the best friend that caught the one in the pain this has is actually the spanish prime minister mariano rajoy and he's the worst enemy of spanish unity because there's no doubt in my mind that his actions. along this every step of the way of only self to first of all fire the determination of

those already supporting cathal on independence but people have added new concepts to the cause midst of a horse actions while the media and one with the constitution assembly and politics in my view because no one and cut the wood will accept regardless of where they stand on this question that democratic politicians elected politicians represent and because a lot of regional parliament should be detained on this basis so it's a very very serious escalation and i i contend it is a very very serious mistake on the part of the madrid government to take this measure and many do see the latest naive as another attempt to block independence movement in catalonia after madrid gave some strong warnings beginning of september .

i. will respond shabbily there are democratic those in charge of the castle and governments who will be pretty hygienist in this challenge to walk or existence to cease in the illegal activities they should abandon their objectives. classified information does suggest that the final conclusion of the hillary clinton e-mail scandal was prepared him well well in advance former f.b.i.

director james comey had his final statement read the on the probe into clinton's use of a private while she was secretary of state two months before the investigation closed in july twenty sixth to get more details and smear accounts she's in our washington office good evening samir so what else then was in this declassified document. well according to these documents f.b.i. director james komi began drafting his statement regarding the clinton e-mail investigation months before his official noun cement and now the release is titled drafts of director khomeini's july fifth two thousand and sixteen statement regarding email server investigation which is in reference to the press conference in which call me announced that the bureau would not recommend any charges while the five page document has a list of almost fifty deleted pages as well as a redacted email thread it titled me to your exam now the email is marked on

classified but the only available content is f.b.i. senior counsellors may sixteenth to follow up on a redacted e-mail from komi dated may second now in the email it says please send me any comments on the statement so we may roll into a master doc for discussion with the director at a future date thanks jim let's take a look there is no classified materials investigation found that there was classified information so it was not true. well that was the infamous clinton scandal where she was accused of using a private e-mail server but it's also worth mentioning that back in august senator chuck grassley and senator lindsey graham sent a letter to new f.b.i. director crisper re saying that they had learned komi had a draft of the statement in advance and shortly after that president trump accused komi of exonerating clinton long before the investigation was over in one of his

tweets but this is all an interesting twist but. after this stunning revelation one question remains how is komi able to draft the statement well before the investigation had concluded well i guess we'll all find out very soon. question thanks to some of those american forces in washington. how well things are looking so far today here or not so he will be back at the top of the. my. goal. was

a bit of. well at the kind of mushy finality and i don't let the your talk about how much more i'd let her be honest and a half it shall get a letter i learned to whom i had that that that's not to be a story. so it's not so much something much so. he. said before this was useful to you. be sure the. people. they've been nice and friendly documented spend fifty dollars the one with the family the funniest with your friends just obviously i told you. i learned what had. the popular which model of how to be a good f.p.s.

. and. i had that. when i say the. idea that the women that have young without the ha. i don't mean. but these are a little had. thought has he has the fight them a better the comfy image that i don't fucking let me off while i know how that the jets are looking to also nominate a field will soon. set itself can was off with. len for the better good of the whole to. be be the measure of the law another bit of confusion with a lot. of us of all your love. of your corps left us a little on the slow. a story on the top of.

the movie. then you know so we will be how do you move the multiple injuries among kind enough to sort them to keep sophie home most of the shows we'll hear most on the. phone if you book a place to put some food before the sea so you. are with them just. before to be a very long before the. if you have with. so how did this really something to host them. you can him dive. in and want to know what happens on the sun just. jump you know just when it comes on

and then when it does you. know it's going to be something that you have you know on a story you will see now that one of the people in the room is mostly what. you don't. get seven hours. for any credit for yes that's. the size of something they are so can the federal hide it at your mom's basement but make it to seventy on your own but it does i don't do it and i could look most suitable odd took it and that's the law and i am highly and you know i think that those who want to begin little do i know about all the. kids that money out of.

the kids. when you're a thousand and must. be a story. today coming up you know what i thought i left you know. as a kind of gold. star goes you see the looks after. we're going to be people the old look to the give to the physio in the normal problems that often would be to go off if i don't want to be the only one could get a better. more me and. my. gentleness and i tend to talk to an awful spanish put their religion in. a day no. matter to me. and he said we have the structure if you

just cannot be human all of them live up to the toughest we've ever seen on commercial. access you know when i'm started by the way some. minds of your school based you said if you promise to preserve enough. time on salt found out to self and look into that how does she have any but this old false soul of the not so much that and that hard to see if you only saw it in the first place how different it can sense that profound truth will come out of some sort or no i don't believe it just sort of this in the not the setting many said nothing self but you know but it was not about some funny not funny one the other was a lot of thought ah little really well let's see. i don't a professional profile with the full length of the show. i don't know about

a lot well so look when the mound be walked on. on many of those that got us it was the clear. so's. you can have someone to call. again when actually. three oblivious to the other kind of. resume your t.v. the key to losing the i mean to me does a good one of these and mother and dad beat and because.

it's a book and more awesome would be my. own a bit off those. who think i'm a. bit of it. was. just. this and that that is not. oh and there are. costs too much as if to say.

public well. when the right wing plus isn't protect themselves. with the flame and larry go around the sun me the. whole middle of the room sick. real news. i'm. kirk put up. by. i'm going to. i.

as i do not. the mom now the accounting us most of this about cuts not down in the just that of the city i couldn't. aside. from. that if.

walk and it had to be other than that one to suboxone. in the house like on the afghan men they have not and the plan not. the lights. i had couple of. find the.

public with. this not none of them since it's an open mind that's given us this intel feel. the sadness and the. shifts. in the lead the football of the body of trick of the day and the month of may the so forty. and us i mean the. few months a good. month of the middle of this is. not a month to. get out most of us for the love of. the.

you know how far the i'll see me. has. to do fall in the. north. was a house. on the. way out of the stuff on the ship it is among the.

taliban hey it's hard to let that. shit out of that you. had no. business with in the. nuclear know you. gotta. believe a young. and the sad because. mr know they are in the next conference with you in the now that she could mark you know could imagine no no no no could manage to sean disembodied voice coming. from the.

owner and then as long. the moment to. look. at the. models you have to also see the ha you'll see. how dented on that have been the kind of suit. is it out there i have to most of the senate and senate. are not. good olives so lost on helen of how does a good long my in. this. forum.

not make it better and i'm going to know nothing are not running out of money and i want to feel the benefit of. the big. bet it. does. and i'd be standing behind me from enough. and almost. had to muddle it meant that i'd give you what then sat in a slack set on how this can be done i could do it but i could have but he walk out of my a lot before i don't. know

how and then the thought about stuff that i'm in the. us not to. haunt him a bit of nothing. but. allowed me. to feel the hunton must be at. least some of the husband must. know if the little girl you. have been a lot of come the. play with was a pill for nothing. but. he do all the luck that. some scene. used to stay out. of of. whatever i want to do with her and to hide it danny. not from whom but at the mouth that she jammed on to also been a member of member feedback the fall of the little maid. and that if we'd had that

it was just because i thought of men when you must have been when. it does are we going to be a. little messy i'm not. going to be an infinitude. the milk comes. out of the. talk to be a yes you want present system how much you want to show. me how do. you think. these tests have done even when it was not even this is going to be looked into tomorrow and then it'll be a lot of these. these. are the stuff you've. already. done on the bus in the scenes of night how you can listen if i can but it doesn't mean. that good enough.

not on my love decided to go ahead and the best not to be come out to show he's been going up. some of the to nevada. i'm going to look at. that in the new york to you know when what does it mean. when they look. into how do you feel. you must have done had he not you know but enough. to see the team. had to get.

a lot of these. into how do you look ma the punch that even though seems to be a big lead had the support of. the koofi psychoanalysis in a moment this will not will. have the chemo feel that. we can this way and that is the whole thought of way because he is back at me now and then i can hear the metal welcome. him. but. i don't. have that. grow the economy enough to support him plus he said i was going. to get ahead was that her.

ha ha ha. because simply assume. if it has a little it's a little bit you found no way. to hit the emotion if you have a love you need. to. tell them that and move on move those in the moment of the movie that you love the mamba back pedal and the rest of the was how lucky i knew who to be young a shot of my day that doesn't blow one kid as obvious as the other money not. below listening. to him can you have been a what i can now maybe i maybe i maybe who are less us.

than. the. what about the terms of. deferred prosecution agreement. although as office during the. billions for the sudden lower drug cartel those us violate that deferred prosecution will finally be prosecuted i'm going to frank for prosecutors.

in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington controls the media the media control the voters elected businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people that was nuclear biological and chemical products said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection

between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the berm pits would really literally send a b. a broke and they don't want to pay it so the waiting decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. get the middle finger to the peace in the model is. delayed and i hope you don't. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us is a full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue. i see people you've never heard of love back to the

night the president of the world bank. and the right seriously send us an e-mail. headline story this hour of iraqi army claims it's in full control of. kurdish fighters fleet the disputed city. tightens its grip on security following an i clawed in. dependents referendum . also coming up over the next thirty minutes the u.k.'s foreign secretary at. the labor party m.p.'s for appearing on earth calling its. more protests break out in barcelona over the arrest. leaders accused of organizing the region's independence referendum.

international news center in the russian capital this is r t international my names you know me welcome to the program our top story this hour the iraqi army say it has taken full control of the city of kirkuk kurdish peshmerga fighters it was described as a declaration of war by the kurdish military which promised every response. i think. it was. you. know i don't like either one.

leaving me with mental problems because. all boarding although you don't want this monkey to go. a long. time at your best nothing to back up my friends. and i'm in an hour from the guy behind the camera left at the college there but now there's the shabby irish decrypted. how much did the. port authority on the block know nobody in the book or the crew or. the iraqi government say's the move was to quote increase security but the oil rich city has been under the control of kurdish forces since twenty fourteen that's when the iraqi army fled the area to escape islamic state and even tranquil has more now on how the war on terror in iraq has

turned into a battle for sea territory. gunshots and one of the largest cities in the north of iraq that had nothing to do with terrorists. i mean it's about the terrorists not being there anymore after the kurdish units also known as push mariga and the iraqi army and cold war largely successful against eisel it is now all about showing who's boss and northern iraq and in particular in kirkuk back in two thousand and fourteen the kurds basically took full control of it while the iraqi army were hopelessly losing the country to islamic state i'm not saying these latest care clashes put iraq on the brink of a new civil war although the general command did call it a declaration of war on the people of kurdistan but here's what the u.s. central command called the takeover of a whole city after

a fierce gun battle masses of locals cleaned the area coalition forces reports of the limits of exchange of fire but believe in gauge when this morning was a misunderstanding and not deliberate elements at times it's a link up the limits of visibility conditions clearly this is a difficult time because there are troops. in the startler is isis so how is that iraq you're only going to. look up your own mobilization forces. so now the u.s. finds difficult position this is going to make it very difficult for the trump administration to resolve this issue very quickly across the border in syria similar story the kurdish units have done a great job in taking over land from die and no matter what the government in damascus has to say they want to keep it period we will never handed over our law

is clear the land that runs. the blood of martyrs belongs to the people and we will not handed over to any force the battle against isis is it's not finished it's largely finished and they've been able to come up with a plan the war of words got hotter and hotter and they have to move special forces but it's oil it's all about oil this is very important for iraq to take a city which they believe is theirs the government and to establish very quickly now that their military is stronger as proven itself against isis has become organized and well received machine that they want to strike while the iron is hot well following the takeover incur crude oil prices climb to a two week high we discuss the market boost on conflict with international oil economist mom do solemn may the immediate impact comes from the clashes

in quetta cool so far these clashes have added one to two delegates to the price of . the chemical. and chemical. is ready and forth then get out but only because economy is dependent. ninety per cent an oil revenue and be kind of cool only in feed have be employed using since ninety seven and they are a continuing to produce oil and they the amount they have been producing will be sent than they see the four hundred fifty thousand five hundred thousand but in a day so it is over most. of the only input of that hit. kurdish forces in syria have delivered a major blow to islamic state reports suggest isel has been defeated in its former so named caliphate capital graca.

the american backed syrian democratic forces who are also fighting the terrorists there claim that iraq is fully under their control however the us led coalition is less optimistic about the situation saying the city is being ninety percent clear device will they still expect some resistance and we are aware of the reports that isis has been defeated in iraq a however clearance operations continue and we expect our syrian democratic force partners to hit pockets of resistance as the final parts of the city is cleared or rock out became islamic states the fuck to a couple back in twenty fourteen and was the setting for much of the terrorist

propaganda kurdish forces launched their assault on the region this summer but victory has come at a high price. the u.n. estimates that's an average of twenty seven people are being killed in iraq every day. up to twenty five thousand civilians still remain trapped in the city during kristie we are exposed to the crossfire of the ongoing fighting. they risk being killed either by asteroids. eisel snipers all mines if they try to flee. there is. a constant air raids from the coalition

so the cash and civilian casualties are. large and they seem to be no real escape for these civilians. planes bombed us heavily this happens in downtown underground i still slaughtering people that many one killed and houses were destroyed in a. coalition shelling targets civilians hit civilians four story houses full of people from all over the neighborhood certainly many have been killed among them my cousin died in iraq in a mass strike. on earlier we spoke to beirut based journalist martin j. he told us still has a long way to go the spite of being driven out. certainly there have been significant bombing campaigns which have come with

a very high civilian casualty price which have had an impact again so i saw but i don't think we can say i mean the war against isis we know it perhaps we can say it's more or less over but extremism no certainly not so enormous are going to rock there are huge questions to deal with in the coming months and years no i mean bracken needs to be rebuilt three hundred thousand people need to be put back in their homes you know there's a massive reconstruction job ahead of them and nobody on the international circuit of the e.u. know the americans is is way going to become even suggesting they're going to pay for it so you know it's another question where does this money come from. the u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson has attacked labor party m.p.'s for appearing on our channel going as far as to call it a scamp. if you study the output of russia today and indeed if you consider the state of the of the prince in russia this president it is an absolute

it is russia today it is a scandal it is a scandal that members of the party your position on continuing to validate to the date moved you to meet. that kind of propaganda by doing all those programmes strong words from boris johnson that his repeated use of the word scandal as he talks about. me on the floor of the house of commons to choose day he talked about labor members of parliament appearing on our team but of course members of his own party have appeared regularly and frequently and. since the channel began r.t. has responded to those comments editor in chief margaret says to money and cold johnson's remarks but no all she said that he was using his own freedom of speech to bully his colleagues for exercising that that's of course is a pretty awkward conversation it's an awkward conversation that he may be having

with his own father because stanley johnson has appeared himself on r.t. he was on one of our shows going underground's talking about his. book and he was asked by host action returns the whether any of the characters in his book were based on either of his sons i do notice how you take sides in this book what does this mean or take kerry stokes the a bully had blown dad for mayor of london how he was absolutely living up to the high expectations people have of him wowing the crowds where every went he could be serious too if it was absolutely necessary who is this former mayor of london character a little serious to do is absolutely as it were we all will face that reality sometimes we have to be we have to be serious well you are right until the. i said absolutely nothing will be that happy but there is a who is this doc i'm not saying that that particular character is a million miles away from another member of my family whom you have. mentioned

today though he didn't confine his comments to r.t. he took a russia as a whole in his inimitable fashion the russians have been up to all sorts of mischief in many countries but so far we can hear a pin point any direction russia a cyber attacks on this country so he doesn't have a specific in mind but boris johnson has in the past hinted at why he thinks russians are so mischievous he says they do it because they have managing editor of the durand dot com sais that boris johnson's comments about r.t. follow the line of demonizing russian. somehow he thinks it's deplorable to use is the reason favorite words that people go on to o.t. and have reasonable debates about contemporary is used out report which is factual or high definition and all the rest of it is somehow frankly i think johnson is

just parroting the mainstream media and mainstream politics line but somehow or two years not because it's inaccurate because it's not not because it's unfair because it's not but because it has something to do with russia which according to the west of leeds is somehow over although it's frankly silly to think that in an age where free speech is truly international thanks to modern technology that one can or should strive for reasonable debate free speech and from one of the most reputable news organizations in the world. living on declassified information suggests the final conclusion of the hillary clinton e-mail scandal was prepared before the investigation had concluded former f.b.i. director james comey his final statement ready into clinton's use of a private server while she was secretary of state two months before the probe ended in july twenty sixth let's get into this further with some are accounted joins us

live from washington d.c. hi sarah yes so that it. by the f.b.i. then was the charges against clinton were not recommended so i suppose the question now is how could that then f.b.i. director have had all the information that had to make such a call if the investigation wasn't even over. well according to newly released documents f.b.i. director james comey began drafting his statement regarding the clinton e-mail investigation months before his official announcement now this is all an interesting twist to the infamous clinton scandal where she was accused of using a private e-mail server let's take a look. there is no classified materials investigation found that there was classified information so it was not true. and now the release is titled drafts of director khomeini's july fifth two thousand and sixteen statement regarding evil server investigation which is in reference to the press conference in which komi announced that the bureau would not recommend any charges the five page document

has a list of almost fifty deleted pages and a redacted email thread titled mid year exam now the e-mail is marked on classified but the only available content is eight senior officials may sixteenth follow up on a redacted e-mail from komi dated may second and in the e-mail the f.b.i. official says a please send me any comments on the statement so we may roll into a master dock for discussion with the director at a future date thanks jim but it's worth mentioning that back in august two senators sent a letter to the new f.b.i. director saying that they had learned komi had drafted the statement in advance and shortly after that the president make used komi of exonerating clinton long before the investigation it was over in one of his tweets with all the with all that being said let's take a moment to review the timeline of the entire investigation now the investigation was confirmed in august of two thousand and fifteen clinton was questioned on july

second two thousand and sixteen on july fifth two thousand sixteen a komi announce of the bureau would not recommend charges and a day later on july sixth two thousand and sixteen the f.b.i. ruled that no charges would be pressed and in may of two thousand and sixteen two months before the announcement of komi prepared his statement but in short it seems that this mystery is all coming together but one question remains how was komi able to draft his statement well before the investigation had clued it that's still unclear but i hope we all find some answers very very soon but in this latest from washington d.c. . madrid arrests leaders in this latest push against the region's independence we have a look at ninety seconds. manufacture

consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the fine. be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. leave.

ninety minutes into the program welcome back to key members of the council on independence movement have been detained and questioned on charges of sedition they're accused of playing crucial rules in organizing council only is disputed referendum which madrid say was illegal on its provoked yet more protests in barcelona. council on leaders where in attendance up the latest demonstration holding a minute of silence in support of the tane colleagues protests also took place late on the night.

castle only is president house la madrid expressing regret that arrests were made for simply organizing peaceful rallies the separatist leaders called on the public to remain strong during this difficult period for the region as that but about and were disappointed with the judge's decision to deprive us of our freedom the sacked is a movie line with the principles of justice its goal is to frighten them and punish us mileage out because then despite the times we're living in the limitless repression of the state to try and stop this democratic wave we're experiencing in catalonia i want you to be more serious than ever we must become aware of the importance of the historical moment. well here's more of what we know up by thirty two men arrested one of them is the leader of the cattle on national assembly an

organization which aims for regional independence it's all to go to over eighty thousand members the other is the president of an organization that promotes catalan language and culture it's also in favor of secession meanwhile the editor of wiki leaks is being critical of the arrests julian assange has described the politicians as the first political prisoners held off for the referendum he's a vocal supporter of independence and the latest move comes as another attempt to block the independence movement in. gave some strong warnings at the beginning of september.

then i think. they should of their objectives. political analyst chris bambery joins us live on the program for more on this chris always good to have you with us is madrid in the wrong here for detaining the separatist leaders. one hundred percent the castle on government issued a declaration of independence then immediately said it was on hold for

a period of time to negotiation to take place between the two countries rather than accepting that spain is refused any negotiation firstly in person the chief of the catalan police and know that these two men blamed for organizing the referendum organizing a vote in which people had an expression this follows the spanish government and wishing the guardia civil the riot police all those people trying to vote in the force of. seizing ballot boxes smashing their way into about stations and across the world people wanting what is going on in spain. every time we get some attempt to try and over a solution what's talk from barcelona madrid respond by ratcheting up repression another issue issue here of course is that the catalan government announced today that its president will not clarify whether he's declared independence my madrid deadline of this thursday if this is sort of i suppose revenge for the arrests or

is he trying to back out of independence. no one is trying to ask me said that many supportive and the parents were disappointed a thing was put on hold for a preview it alone negotiation but i think it's right to say he's not going to be drawn by madrid's trying to put down an agenda a deadline this those day he was approved more protracted period the castle and government is trying to. find people around the world have experience of peace deals in palestine in northern ireland in south africa and elsewhere and saying we have these people they've helped because sports in the past they've managed to broker deals sometimes much more situations than this why can't you talk why can't you will see it is that mediation and the answer is always no from madrid really is not prepared to let the catalans have a democratic position on this and is not prepared to discuss the catalans issues there nor nor nor constant with the madrid government the couple and president had been echoing sentiments right before the arrest that dialogue was necessary in the

aftermath of what we saw yesterday is there any chance of talking between madrid and catalonia. i think it's hard to see it out in the cattle and government is maintaining its position a once talks it's constantly it so easy to find it once the new go see it but as i say it's a constant brick wall it's coming up is that the dreaded of course this is a right wing government. which is not frank with the reference to take the ship to the thirty's forty's fifty's sixty's but its roots are rather in the franco as their tradition and their grandchildren frankel's a government minister and they are committed to maintaining spanish unity as it was under a dictatorship so i think there's an ideological element in this they're not prepared to make any concessions on this and yet to me what madrid is doing is creating a national independence movement because every time the crackdown in the ways your package shows it's giving bringing more people into supporting catalan independence

and i think by this stage of the game large numbers of catalans have made the decision a majority in my opinion have made the decision there's really nothing in an offer from spain here we might as well leave this building and go somewhere else. if we push them on does not declare independence do you think there will be calls for him to resign just briefly we have about thirty seconds chris i think i think he will have to declare independence at some stage face with a brick wall the catalan mass movement there is a mass in the catalunya will force him to do that because that is what people want the problem the main supporters are no in my opinion a majority and consequently chris bambery political analyst always great to have you on the show thank you. and that was all the news for now i'll see you again in thirty minutes time stay with r.t. international for more programs right ahead.

colin is still exist. rico's treated as one. and then only on the portal three cool. little can i do i want to toss and they could be. the island is controlled by the u.s. government and some puerto rican scrutiny of independence. either is that i mean what i mean. there are. still many do wish to join the us hundreds more leave every day. with the country at a crossroads of the island is on the rise. hey

there i'm with you francis is the boss broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. coming up oil prices are shaky and domestic conflicts are rife among opec nations we take a look at the status of the cuts they agreed upon to boost prices per barrel and the big banks have turned away from block chain technology for quite some time but they could be changing we explore that and it's been three decades since the infamous black monday stock market meltdown could we have another supercross discuss how markets have more since one thousand nine hundred seventy my guest former u.s. attorney commissioner. chelton boom bust start right now. i

. boiled production by the organization of petroleum exporting countries member states and affiliate nations increased again in september it's had a level that's beyond the limit the group had agreed on in order to push up prices since november of last year the cartel has tried to keep production within thirty two point five million barrels per day while it rose to around eighty eight thousand last month to thirty two point seven five barrels per day on average now libya nigeria and iraq output jumped as all face massive domestic conflicts venezuela's production dropped as its financial crisis unfolds their oil has strengthened in recent weeks with brant crude hitting fifty nine dollars late last month dropping to around fifty seven and slowly recovering now to around fifty eight in the meantime b.p. midstream is pushing forward with an initial public offering its a unit of b.p.'s us pipeline unit it expects to sell forty two point five million

shares and then raise up to eight hundred ninety three million dollars in its i.p.o. on the new york stock exchange under the symbol b.p. m.p. according to a filing with the u.s. securities and exchange commission shares are slated for a suggested price range of nineteen dollars to twenty one dollars each. and according to the u.k.'s office for national statistics blue book in britain surplus of four hundred sixty nine billion pounds has slid down to a net deficit of twenty two billion pounds investment in the u.k. in the first half of two thousand and sixteen fell from one hundred twenty billion pounds surplus to twenty five billion pound deficit over the same period this year but all puts the u.k. in a very weak position and that separation talks from the european union on monday u.k. prime minister theresa may met with the leaders as the block is set to decide if there is any point to reviving the latest round of deadlock divorce negotiations

leaders of the e.u.'s twenty seven member states demand that first a financial settlement between eighty eight million billion dollars and one hundred twenty billion dollars be paid to resolve outstanding commitments that britain has with the e.u. also the rights of e.u. citizens on the status of the border between ireland and northern ireland must be closed out before talk of trade and security can move forward. aggressive demands by the us have changed the tone of north american free trade agreement talks making a possible end to the deal more of a reality than ever some say american negotiators are purposefully sabotaging the long standing agreement between canada mexico and the u.s. but others say it fits perfectly with president trump style of quote unquote negotiating our tease out some highlights joins us with more from toronto alex u.s. negotiators have dropped some volumes and have to talks you and i both know which

in the best case scenario will drag the process out further what's the latest. it was the fourth round of negotiations and what the u.s. says done is brought out a plate of things that are palatable to canada and mexico so here's a short list of some of the ideas the us has been throwed out some that nafta demands first of all the sunset clause and sunset clause could end up after five years the other countries don't really like that idea but the us say we need this bill to the nafta two point zero agreement second isn't boersma mechanism how this is the big one for canada it's really sort of stood behind this idea it's chapter nineteen of nafta that's really were most of the information is on this basically it provides an alternative to judicial review by domestic courts and what it does is it creates an independent by national panel to resolve cases such as dumping or duty case and stuff like that so this panel has been something canada has been very

very passionate about and really wants to see and remain within nafta if we do more move forward with nafta then number three is just a different industry such as dairy and textiles and automobile parts automobiles parts of something we've talked about over and over again it's this buy america thing from donald trump you want space of the sea fifty percent of all parts and cars built in north america come from the u.s. that would completely it just screw up the whole supply chain that we have from mexico to canada to the u.s. parts cross the borders every single day and that's the way we build cars as it stands for the industry has been up in arms over this idea and in the states as well so a lot of american businesses are saying that this is just not a good thing and that donald trump has to step back now ask for donald trump i mean this isn't the first time we've seen him do this with any type of agreements let's say we know with the rand deal we know what he was talking about when it comes to health care we know that with the whole building the wall and with immigrants in

the states it seems to be this policy of let's destroy the. and then rebuild from here and this is a idea that many people are saying that trump might be looking in to put a pushing in that clause which would shut down nafta given about six months left of life but someplace in there he want to renegotiate a new nafta mexico has said no way if he says no to nafta we are not renegotiating within that six month period so bottom line is right now the whole idea that before christmas that we could have a new nafta agreement well that looks like it's right out the window and when it comes to canada well canada is kind of sitting back and thinking we have a lot of bilateral agreements with the states of nafta goes well we're not really thrown out the window so if this happens some are saying canada's ready to throw mexico right under that bus well they're obvious an options i mean the u.s. congress leaving out but it seems the brits might be interested what's going on across the pond. plan b. for the brits that everything falls apart the way it's working they're looking at

nab now this is actually come from the from the telegraph the london telegraph which is close to the conservative party saying these talks are actually really happening with that's what a lot of of the politicians there are saying that nafta looks like it might be a good way for the brits to go but if there is no nafta what could the brits do so there's all this speculation up in the air why not join canada tighter agreement with canada to the point where the brits would almost become canadian and then they could join. we would see it as a comfort of economic trade agreement that canada has with europe which is a tight agreement and the brits could leave and then kind of loop around the back door if they wanted to that would be a little bit ridiculous but there's all kinds of ideas out there right now almost canadian and i wish many people have around the world thank you very much for your insight on this alex and highlights from toronto thank you. sales of i information medication this earned drug manufacturer allergy at one point four billion dollars

last year recently eyebrows were raised when it transferred the patent to st regis mohawk tribe in upstate new york and took advantage of an american tribal sovereignty law to protect its patent and prevent generic makers of the restasis drug from getting approved for sale while now a texas district court judge has ruled against allegations actions in trying to extend its patent stating it's not entitled to renewed patent rights mike papantonio the host of america's lawyer joined me earlier to explain the sovereignty issue. well here's what happens drug companies get to hold the patent for ten years before they lose their monopoly and then cheaper generic versions and get to enter the market they tell us most of the time that they need those ten years to recoup the costs of research and development that's a total lie most drug makers make all their money back within about two years seventy five percent of the costs are actually just marketing because the big

pharma wants this pay they want to charge these ridiculous amounts of money for prescriptions and they want to say well gee whiz this is all about research and development it's not it's about marketing it's about the idea in two years they've got all their money back and most of the people to understand government pays for most of the research drug companies spend close to seven billion dollars a year on stock buyouts to make their shareholders even wealthier and they do that lindsay during a time when the federal government this is this is where i really ought to make angry federal government funds close to fifty percent of all the research and development that a company like allegan has to pay and let's talk about this patent troll issue is that our going claims what do you think of the generic makers moving in on a name brand name brand territory and having sometimes a shorter f.d.a. approval period or government approval period for this patent allegan says it's a troll issue they say it's this this deal is

a sophisticated opportunity to strengthen the defensive as our of our for status intellectual property what do you think of this argument yeah yeah well look this is nonsense allard again is scamming the system again it's just the latest in a long line of schemes hatched by drug companies in order to prevent generic drugs from entering the market in the past they've tried things like tweaking their formula a little bit in order to claim a new patent but this move giving the path to a group with sovereign immunity is a whole new level of disgusting let's not forget this is what you have to understand trends follow. companies let's not forget that allegan has a history of manipulation earlier this year the company settled the whistleblower lawsuit for thirteen million dollars after doctors came forward and clearly showed that the company was actually involved in kickbacks to doctors for prescribing their medication the drug that they're now trying to hand over to native tribes to protected their. look i got to tell you some of had thirty five years going to war

with companies like allergy and these are the folks that park their money offshore so they don't have to pay taxes they get the government to pay for the research and development they have all types of scams where they run they go to universities they have to have professors write phoneys up literature form look this is a drug company lindsey that pulls in about one point five billion dollars a year and they're going to give the native group that they're talking about about fifteen million percent yup is long is long as they don't lose the patent right well you know people i talk to. in tribal law say that this is a classic case of what is commonly referred to as rent a tribe you go you find a sovereign tribe and you basically pay them to hold on to your business for you and it could actually put into danger tribal sovereignty if this is a controlled within the tribe and now we've got lawmakers saying we want to close this loophole how dangerous is this for tribal sovereignty in our country. well

it's a terror it's terrible look drug companies understand for example the financial problems that plague native tribes all over the country so they're using that to manipulate those tribes native americans have been nearly completely left out of any kind of economic recovery in the last few years so this company's taken advantage of that their native tribes you have an employment levels nearly double that of the overall population they have a higher higher poverty rate they lag behind in education more than one in four native people live in total poverty their labor force participation is about somewhere i think around sixty percent the lowest of all race and race groups nearly eighty percent of native americans have no access to clean water or basic sanitation so here that's where al again says oh wow we have an area of total despair let us now take advantage of the area of total despair lynsey it's the same thing that we see these companies doing with opioids let's go to parts of the

country where there's total despair where they have nothing to gain and so the opiate industry is in there for that reason this company is in there simply because they can take advantage of all the misfortune that these tribes are facing and you're right it does create a problem to where the next to lose. their sovereignty to say we're an entity our reservation is an entity that doesn't have to play by all the federal rules because we have our own tribal law that is risk this company doesn't care about that all they care about is making more money that's the ugly part of a story like this this company has a history of that and they'll continue that history until somebody really slaps them down somebody has got to slap this company down for what they're doing here well the mosque claim it's not diversifying their income as you pointed out at between fourteen to fifteen million dollars a pound three thousand i considering what the drug companies make on rest face that's just one drug that allegan has been used to like it would behoove the

mohawks and tribes like the hawks to. regulate this from within because it seems dangerous that especially hawks on the hill who want to eat in on tribal sovereignty to find this as the perfect excuse of taking that away from eating at it. well right now for example the there's a case going on where we're claiming that the indian tribes have their own law to be able to go after the distributors of opioids ok because they ought to be able to zoom under very schematics of law and not the feds right the feds are always trying to take away from the reservation take away from that right and so that's what we see here is that one who would know better than you thank you so much for weighing in on this for us mike papantonio the house of america's lawyer thank you. time now for a quick break but stick around because when we return big banks may have successfully

ignored block technology but the tide is turning and it's thirty years since the infamous black monday stock market meltdown could we have another super crash will discuss how markets have more since nine hundred eighty seven my guess as we go to break here are the numbers closing down. what about the. billions for the. violate the prosecution will finally be prosecuted i'm going to prosecute. risk of being shot. taken prisoner.

by room. this said do not own a truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the burn pits would really literally send a v.a. broke and they don't want to pay it so the waiting in decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. call for help and get the middle finger to the movies to model is. delayed and i hope you die.

computer science researchers at catholic university of love in belgium have discovered serious weaknesses in w.p.a. too it's what protects all communication between modern why fight networks so it's eavesdropping time when a person using wi-fi is there anyone using crack to tap into the wife i signals crack is short for key reinstallation attacks crack is used to access information

such as credit card numbers passwords chat messages emails photos basically anything you don't want anyone to see by breaking into w.p.a. too it was previously thought to be encrypted the data can be manipulated and ransomware can be injected using the weakness. for years big banks and firms ignored block chain and its potential but now the mood toward the digital ledger is changing with the major companies hopping on board room for she has more on that for us at best it takes several days in order for international transactions to be completed and in a world that's more connected than ever that can get frustrating very quickly so in order to fix that american tech giant i.b.m. is looking to the block chain on monday i.b.m. announced

a new partnership with block chain start up stellar and payments company quick x. and a press release its president of i.b.m. industry platform said with the guidance of some of the world's leading financial institutions i.b.m. is working to explore new ways to make payment networks more efficient and transparent so that banking can happen in real time even in the most remote parts of the world making distributed technologies more interoperable is the latest example of i.b.m.'s leadership driving the rapid advancement of change and one of the banks that i.b.m. will be working with to implement the new process is t.d. bank and in the press release the bank's cheap digital and payments officer said we're focused on innovation that adds value for our customers and our business and block chain presents a tremendous opportunity to transform and it has payment systems enabling us to continue to evolve the products and services we can offer and last year i.b.m. introduced the i.b.m. block chain and then in the summer announce

a block in partnership with food companies to improve the food supply chain so the banks latest move is an example of the growing collaboration between the finance world and private firms it also demonstrates how the attitude for the decentralized has changed over time and this goes beyond just payments more normalized it becomes a more likely blocked chain is to impact other areas like identity systems or loan programs. let's talk more about that how could the block chain affect identity protection systems and those those loan programs especially with identity protection seems huge so proponents of blocked train would say that for one it makes loans easier for it makes it easier for companies to apply for to be approved for loans because it would eliminate all the burdensome processes that they have to go through i mean a lot of them are still. parts of the process are still paper based so they're still relying on fax machines for parts of their communication and of course part

of the reason that is because of security concerns which kind of goes into the next part about identity the block chain is encrypted so it offers an extra level of protection that protects not only the company but also their clients from hackers or any other sort of criminal networks that might try in and get your information or your money so there certainly are a lot of attractive features of the block chain it's just a matter of these big companies that for a long time are rolling their eyes at it warming up to them and then scaling it up and if you protect the customers you protect yourself as well great speaking of i.b.m. one of the inventors made some interesting comments about humans and robots we're finding that more and more among tech leaders are going to tell us about john mcnamara who's the senior inventor at i.b.m. wrote a submission to the u.k. house of lords saying that humans could become reliant on implanted technology within the next few decades and of course he doesn't represent the rest of the company you know this is just his thoughts but he had a pretty smart guy and yes he is probably pretty smart and i think what caught

a lot of people's attention was that you know on one hand he said in plant a technology could eventually help us we're pair of bodies if we have a broken bone or maybe damage to our muscles or cells but then he also said it could quote human cognitive capabilities so could start affecting our brains and perhaps the way we think and process information so i think that's what you know some people on edge now because you're walking around totally out of it and you've got a. if in your brain you got a pen and on a device that's just not thank you so much been passed down. what three decades have passed since the dow jones industrial average tumbled more than five hundred points in a single day the black monday crash in one nine hundred eighty seven started in hong kong shifted to europe and then u.s. markets were hit hard joining me to discuss this former u.s. training commissioner bart chilton horrible day for the markets back in nineteen eighty seven hard to believe it's been thirty years there's a lot of uncertainty at that time not just in the markets but obviously around the

world the way it spread how if the markets more sense then is it safe to assume it's better could that ever happen again in that same way it's safe to assume things are better that way you know never say never on on these sorts of market calamities we have seen and i think you know regulators are not particularly great at being nimble or quick are seeing around the corner so don't expect that they're going to step in and try to do something anytime soon to prevent another calamity but bottom line they have changed i mean the fed is very much more involved in monetary policy than they were then it was billions now which trillions with the quantitative easing that they're getting out of that changes our economy it changes markets and we've got a bunch of new players to that are you know in these markets so you know things have changed but i think by and large things are a little bit better ok let me ask you about some specifics that didn't even exist you talked about new players exchange traded fund t.t.s.

yeah i mean that's the way these exchange traded funds are real way for average folks to get exposure to different things that without going ahead and buying it particularly you know in my old area in the commodities i mean it's not like you can invest other than maybe for your dinner in corn but through an e.t.f. you can invest in different commodities oil or gold and it gives you you know the e.t.f. try to keep that exposure so. it mirrors the price futures price and so i think that's a pretty good thing and in the e.t.f. themselves is like stock are also you know different venues for people to invest in so there's more places that people can invest and i think that's a good thing to ok so it's spread out but let's talk about speed we've got these cheetos the high frequency traders and of course algorithmic trading or even touch on a i guess the sara lee yet but but tell us about this so when you go back three decades to the black monday they had some rudimentary algorithmic trading but it was really

you know they didn't want to stop loss i mean it was computerized but it wasn't fast and it was fairly it was a blunt trading tool put it that way but now with the cheetahs with the h f t's they are you know scooping up micro dollars in milliseconds they are in and out of these markets all the time now the good news is that you know there's lots of liquidity i mean somebody is on the other side of those trades even if it's just for less than a second somebody is getting it somebody is hitting that bitter offer so that's a good thing but is speed necessarily good and you know there comes a point where you have to say when we see things in markets do we want things to happen as fast as they can with these cheap is really in control lot of the liquidity of markets today that we talk about these massive passives as you call them this group of traders who are they and how do they change the markets with

a massive passives or really a group that came to four in the mid two thousand and they are like pension funds and that they did is they were making so much money and doing really well in the stock market they decided to diversify into the derivatives markets and so they took took large chunks of their portfolio and said you know let's put a little bit in agriculture let's little put a little bit in the energy complex let's put a little bit in the metals complex and instead of getting in and out like. most traders do or what they did back in the day they get in and out of markets these massive passons would take large amounts massive and they would put them there and letting them sit passive and they would do this for years so their bet was for example lindsey they think the price of oil is going to raise in two or three years not next week or anything and that's a safer bet by and large so those kinds of they also add liquidity but they change markets a little bit i was worried you know back when i was at the commission about concentration

but that same seems to ameliorate it was a concentration of too many of them pushing a price one way or another but my former agency seems to have a good a good bead on that and keeping excessive speculation out of the way interesting how much it's changed we've seen other market drops two thousand and ten there was that flash crash. drop nearly a thousand points for recovering much of that loss it was huge we're at you we're at two year old commissioner job than what are we likely to see as far as flash crashes or any other black monday or anything like that any time soon two thousand and ten was huge but it just went so fast well back then like i said when you have these changes in the market not that they were the cause of it it was actually algorithmic program just plain that can tank markets in a quick in a quick hurry so we need to watch about those things going forward absolutely thank you so much former u.s. attorney commissioner part shelter. thanks for watching be sure to catch on directv
